History
Guaraní de Trinidad was founded on 12 October 1960 and joined the Liga Alto Paraná de Fútbol, a regional competition affiliated to the Unión del Fútbol del Interior (UFI) for football clubs from Hohenau and nearby districts such as Bella Vista, Jesús, Obligado, Pirapó and Trinidad. They won the Liga Alto Paraná competition three times in a row between 2017 and 2019.{{cite web |title=Liga Alto Paraná de Fútbol |url=https://www.futparaguay.com/2013/07/liga-alto-parana-de-futbol.html |publisher=FUTPARAGUAY |access-date=14 September 2021 |language=es}}
The club entered the Campeonato Nacional B "Pre-Intermedia" (third tier competition organized by the UFI) for the first time in 2019, reaching the final where they defeated the team representing the Liga Carapegüeña (known as Sportivo Carapeguá in competitions organized by the Paraguayan Football Association) with a 4–2 aggregate score to earn direct promotion to the División Intermedia for the 2020 season.{{cite web |title=Guaraní de Trinidad vence a Carapeguá y asciende a Intermedia |url=https://d10.ultimahora.com/guarani-trinidad-vence-carapegua-y-asciende-intermedia-n2849073.html |publisher=D10 Paraguay |date=13 October 2019 |access-date=14 September 2021 |language=es}}{{cite web |title=Guaraní de Trinidad sube a Intermedia |url=http://www.tigosports.com.py/futbol/nacional-b-guarani-de-intapua-es-flamante-campeon |publisher=Tigo Sports |date=13 October 2019 |access-date=14 September 2021 |language=es}} However, their debut in the latter competition was postponed to 2021 since the competition was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web|url=https://versus.lanacion.com.py/versus/2020/09/11/es-oficial-apf-suspende-intermedia-y-6-torneos-mas/|title=Es oficial: ¡APF suspende Intermedia y 6 torneos más!|publisher=Versus|date=11 September 2020|access-date=14 September 2021}}{{cite web|url=https://www.apf.org.py/n/a-la-espera-de-la-intermedia-2021|title=A la espera de la Intermedia 2021|publisher=Paraguayan Football Association|date=7 April 2021|access-date=14 September 2021}}
